Stavanger Bay Shaded me on summer days

"Been a long time since I led anything."  She responded thoughtfully, but she did think hard about it.  This was a good chance to get some of his thoughts on how she ran shit.

"Guess first is kinda obvious.... I don't much spend the energy huntin down deserters.  If ye see em and get the itch to kill em, well... that isn't my problem." She said with a small smile.  "But seems a waste, spending all that effort on someone not worth the time.  Better to find new, loyal crew mates out to take their place, yeah?"  She wondered if the rule would be deemed soft, but sometimes smart and soft weren't mutually exclusive.  Crew ran better when everyone wanted to be there.  Period.

"D'you think the crew has any interest in raiding?"  She asked suddenly, not really giving him time to answer the first.  It had been on her mind, and she thought perhaps he knew of that particular piratical custom.  She wasn't opposed... so long as they were smart about how they did it.  Lotta packs around here, and close together too.  Might not be entirely possible to hit an isolated group.
